The Jubilee Film Festival is a festival celebrating Black excellence and Black struggle. All of the entries should have a narrative of Black life whether through struggle or the continuous push toward excellence. The night of June 16th, 2023 will be about glitz and glam when the awards ceremony for the film festival takes place. At the awards ceremony, there will be a VIP hour where saxophonist and vocalist Michael Eubanks will be performing live, food provided by CBR'z Catering by Zachery, signature drinks will be provided by Delta Dirt Distillery from Helena, Arkansas and the opportunity to meet and greet several celebrities who have been on the big screen or the small screen of movies, tv shows or sit-com/dramas.

    I'm so happy that I was able to get more eyes on your work. As a creative myself, I understand the value and excitement of having an audience follow the story line you've created. We are already gearing up for next year. I would love to have another selection of yours in the upcoming festival and award show.
